Abstract

A clip secures a pin fin heat sink to a fan. The clip includes a frame having a width which can be wedged between the fins of the heat sink. Blades extend downwardly from the frame and bear against the heat sink fins to secure the frame to the heat sink. The clip is locked in place by barbs which extend upwardly to engage the fins of the heat sink when the clip is urged in a direction which would free it of the heat sink.
